  • For 20 years, this edgy club has attracted every type from straight girls to drag queens. After midnight, the dance floor hits its peak, rocking with a stellar sound system and light show.

  • A friendly, local bar (for boys and girls) where deer, elk, moose, and buck heads adorn the walls. The outdoor beer garden is wild in summer.

  • At Circuit, men often dance shirtless to grinding house music. In contrast, the Rehab lounge bar is a sophisticated chill-out spot.

  • This laid-back club is ideal for sipping must-try martinis, while Boys Town people-watching through wall-to-wall windows.

  • This casual, family-owned bar is a perfect spot to kick back with one of 18 beers on tap, a single-malt whisky, or a glass of wine.

  • Piano players and singers perform nightly for appreciative and participative audiences at this cabaret club.

  • Guthrie’s Tavern

  • Disguised as a laundry during Prohibition, this cozy pub has been dispensing beer and spirits for over a hundred years.

  • Kit Kat Lounge & Supper Club

    Martinis come in 52 flavors at this swanky spot, where female impersonators divert attention from significant others with their lip-synching talent.
